Hi Gents

I'm looking at getting a CRKT First Strike - are they any good ?

Are they hardened and tempered ?

Any other comments or advice welcome !!

Also - is the First Strike chisle ground or symmetrical ??

It is my understanding from this forums' store that they haven't shipped from the manufacturer as yet. I have had one or pre-order since May which was ordered for my son's birthday. Problem is, he isn't any more patient than me.

I have one on back order as well. ETA July 14 (fingers crossed).

is the First Strike chisel ground or symetrical ?

The ad I saw for it said that it's double ground with a convex edge.

I´m interested; but haven´t seen anyone.

cool knife, but if you want a really really good one thats similar...check out www.sharperthings.com, . it's the wally hayes collaborated japanese tacticals. the electric blue stingray or sterling silver manuki. or even Murray Carter's cord wrapped knives.

jediknight,

the sharperthings.com offerings are also noticeably more expensive, the expected price on the first strike is around $50

Nice knife - if I had the money I'd get it !!

Looking good !

Nice design and nice rendering from CRKT. Hope will be available soon; I think I'll give it a try.
